Pepperdine Graziadio Business School Associate Professor of Economics Paul Gift, PhD, writes in Forbes that Floyd Mayweather Sr. is being sued for over $20 million for breach of contract. The suit was filed by Ann Barlow in the Clark County District Court (Nevada) on October 2, 2017.

The lawsuit itself stems from a 2015 dispute between Mayweather Sr. and Barlow, in which Mayweather Sr. claimed Barlow tricked him into signing a contract for public relations consulting services when he actually wanted assistance setting up a nonprofit foundation. That lawsuit was eventually dropped, but the new suit filed by Barlow appears to be an attempt to clear her reputation, according to Gift.
